This exciting foundation course is now in its fourth year. The one-day workshop is suitable for leaders of group exercise in a community or church setting, plus new or inexperienced leaders who want to build confidence and come away with practical ideas to use in sessions.
No previous exercise or instruction experience is required - just a passion for connecting with people in their communities and delivering safe and suitable classes and activities.
The course with Kris Tynan will cover exercise benefits and principles, common health conditions, communication, cultural considerations and health and safety.
Dates: Saturday 23rd May 2020.
Time: 8.30am to 4pm.
Location: North New Brighton Community Centre (88 Marine Parade, North New Brighton).
Cost: $50 per person. This includes a course folder and handouts.
